More Cleo Integration Cloud Platform Pros →

"The most valuable features assist with understanding data formats and transforming data.""Out-of-box process orchestration yields quick implementations.""It's highly stable, and the redundancy is amazing.

Cons
"Currently, the solution fails to provide users with additional protocol assistance and API integrations, so the aforementioned areas need to be considered for improvement."

More Cleo Integration Cloud Platform Cons →

"There are also some features in the solution that are not user-friendly, like code lists with no search options. So, we must navigate hundreds of pages to check for one entry.""The user interface is outdated. B2B Integrator was developed in the United States in the nineties, and the graphical user interface hasn't improved since. It's tough because you have to program the software in XML. Nowadays, other methods are easier to work with.""IBM B2B Integrator could improve the business process itself, there is no resignation of duties and in terms of the console should be changed in a way that is more user-friendly.""The mapping, visibility, deployment, and the dashboard could be improved and updated. The communication logs are very poor. They are not easily understood, and we need to navigate to many places for many reasons. You can't just pull the information; it's very tough.""The tool requires you to write a lot of code in Java and XSLT, which makes development tough.""There is no related transaction stored in the database because it's an OLTP application.""The initial setup is complex.""The dashboard is not integrated and should be bundled by the product vendor."
